Joint Forum releases credit risk report: The Joint Forum of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the International Organisation of Securities Commissions and International Association of Insurance Supervisors has released a report on credit risk management (CRM) across sectors that follows a survey it carried out. It makes the following recommendations:

it warns against over-reliance on internal models for CRM and regulatory capital;

supervisors should be alert to the growth of risk-taking behaviours and the resulting need for firms to have appropriate risk management processes;

supervisors should be aware of the growing need for high-quality liquid collateral to meet margin requirements for OTC derivatives sectors; and

supervisors should consider whether firms are accurately capturing CCP exposures as part of their CRM.

“I enjoy the CLANZ newsstand and find it highly relevant to my job. I definitely have forwarded various articles to my colleagues on occasion where there is a point of general interest, particularly employment or IT law. I really appreciate the service, it's a quick way for me to keep up to date in a way I wouldn't otherwise have time to.”
